It does? what metadata would that be? Considering all the info PK has
about packages it gets FROM yum I don't see how that's possible.
Yum doesn't show the user the type of the update: security vs. bugfix
vs. enhancement. It also doesn't show the user the update comments,
nor any suggested logout/login or reboot actions after the updates are
applied. I believe the data comes from updateinfo.xml.gz in the repo.
yum install yum-security
Description:
This plugin adds the options --security, --cve, --bz and --advisory
flags to yum and the list-security and info-security
commands. The options make it possible to limit list/upgrade of packages to
specific security relevant ones. The commands give you the security information.
